Business password management is vital for cybersecurity
Passwords prevent attackers from gaining access to your critical business accounts. In an attempt to easily remember passwords, your employees might set weak, predictable passwords or even reuse one strong password across all their accounts. If your employees work on multiple applications every day, there is a high risk of password fatigue setting in. This can make things easier for attackers, who are always on the lookout for an entry point to your sensitive data.
How does a business manage passwords?
Companies that do not use a business password manager often adopt unsafe password management techniques. For example, teams might use an Excel sheet to track passwords within and across teams. Even if the sheets are password protected, authorized employees will have unaudited access to the sensitive information they contain. Some might even share passwords with colleagues through email, text message, and other means. This is another cyber threat that can be prevented by implementing a password manager for your business.
Adopting a business password manager
Password managers help businesses safely store, retrieve, and manage passwords from one secure repository. They can also generate and remember strong passwords for your accounts, making your online life safer and simpler.
Increasing business password security
When you adopt a business password manager, you can increase business password safety by empowering your employees to:
Store all their business passwords in one secure repository
Generate strong, unique passwords for all accounts
Access the password vault using a single master password
Avoid password reuse and weak passwords, which cause over 80% of data breaches
Safely share passwords with authorized personnel and teams
Simplify logins with password autofill and auto-login
